Following the major expansion, the Ultra Low Emission Zone now definitively covers all London boroughs. This vast boundary means that driving to certain airports will automatically trigger the £12.50 daily charge for non-compliant vehicles, enforced by an expanded network of ANPR cameras.

How to Avoid ULEZ When Parking at Heathrow
There are no “exemption routes” to access the official short-stay car parks or drop-off lanes at Heathrow. To avoid the £12.50 entry and exit fees, use an off-airport Park & Ride service. AirPark Pro operates a secure compound located just outside the ULEZ map boundary. You exit the M25 before hitting the cameras, park securely, and take our free 10-minute shuttle straight to the terminal.
